LITTLE ROCK  Happy birthday. You’ll have excellent timing and a thriving personal life in 2013.Your goals are perfectly aligned with a partner’s, and together you’ll be unstoppable over the next 10 weeks. A victory at work will win you money and admiration in February.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You deserve to work with experienced people, but inexperienced people who rely on you may be an even better bet to inspire your best.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t put too much stock in what people who are in the thick of a crush have to say. Infatuation is a deceptive state of mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Take the advice of those who have “been there,” but come up with your own solutions, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You could extract a wide range of meanings from your daily interactions, but most of them wouldn’t be accurate, and few of the accurate ones would be of any consequence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes when you love people, you feel possessive of them. Intellectually, you know that no person can own another, but there’s a territorial animal instinct inside you that seems to believe otherwise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The moon gives you an extra burst of can-do energy, not to mention a sheen of glamour that the more glamorous around you will notice. It takes one to know one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You may realize that you’ve been trying to fill a void that was never really there to begin with. Nothing is missing. There are excellent reasons why things are exactly the way they are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Pragmatism is an attractive quality now, especially in the eyes of those who struggle with practicalities.You’ll be paid for using your good sense.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Many will advise you, but it won’t be difficult to know which direction to follow.The wrong way makes you feel stubborn and sluggish.The right way has a nice ring to it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Those who are trying to prove their own rightness will be unable to listen to anyone else. So instead of making a case for yourself, sit back and gather information you can use later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When opportunities seem scarce, endeavor to deliberately create them.You may still come up empty-handed, but someone will like your initiative and keep you in mind for the next round.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In some ways, you’re on top of the world. In other ways, you’re in the thick of the muckity-muck, fighting your way through. Neither position is better than the other. The fight keeps you strong, and the ease gives you perspective.
